Atheist and the Death penalty

[Cephus]

Except there are a lot of people who operate just as irrationally as the God-botherers, who react only through emotion and not at all through intellect, reason, rationality or critical thinking.  Just because someone is an atheist doesn't make them rational in everything they do, unfortunately.

Well, yeah.

But are you seriously trying to argue that there's not a difference in mindset (perspective), regardless of the human pattern-seeking brain's tendency to wander away from it if we are not careful, between the atheistic and theistic worldviews?

We can start with simple things, like "they believe in magical causation for events and Revealed Truths™, which we do not accept as part of reality".

There is no "atheist worldview".  Atheism is the lack of belief in gods, full stop.  There are all kinds of people who are atheists and there is nothing that any of them have inherently in common beyond not believing.  Even if the majority might take that statement seriously, you probably can't take another step that the majority of atheists would share.
